Christmas in September - Free Printable -The Only Thing Better than Having you for a Mom

It is getting harder for me to post Christmas ideas here on Full of Great
Ideas because my family has been known to visit my blog to see what I have been
up to. Well, I hope my stern warnings a few weeks ago will be listened to,
otherwise there will be no surprises on Christmas day.

I recently saw a wood plaque with the saying “The only thing
better than having you for a Mom is my children having you for a Grandma.” I
pinned it thinking I love the saying and could make something with vinyl cut with my Cricut. After I spent an hour trying to design it I grew
more and more frustrated and thought there had to be a better (i.e. easier)
way.

So I went back to my favorite program, Microsoft Publisher, to design the
quote. Here is what I came up with.

This is a basic 8x10 file and each row of text is in its own text box, so
they can be manipulated independently.In case you are curious the following are the free fonts I used to make
this:

The only thing - Alex Brush font

Better than – Gabriola font

Having you for a -Before the rain font

Mom- JT Hidden Vines font

Is out children-Mutlu font

Having you for a- Janda Elegant Handwriting font

Grandma- JT Hidden Vines font

I thought I would give you all an early Christmas gift too and offer this as
a free download. I have created the file for Grandma, Oma, and Nanna (Update I have added: Nonni, Nonna, GiGi, Yia Yia, Grammy, Gram, Yani, Mimi, Nema, Nanny, Nana, Nonna, Meme, Queenie.....the list is now really long ).

To download the file, first leave me a comment (not required but I love the
feedback),right click on the image you like and open in
a new window. Once open, right click on it again and select ‘Save as’. Save it
to a place you will remember. Then send the JPEG to your favorite photo printer! As my kids say...Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. I have uploaded a high resolution image that is large
enough to be printed as an 8x10. It might print clearly as a larger image but I have not tested it
out.

I hate saying it, but please use this only for personal use. I don’t sell the items I make (this
would probably cost $15ish on Etsy) but that doesn’t mean I want someone else
to sell it either :)

So here are all the images you can download.Here is the one for Grandmas:

The list of images was getting really long, so I truncated the post. So please Click ' Read more' below to see the rest of the images you can download. For all you Dutch (like me) and German kids out there, here is an Oma one:

And finally the Nanna image.

I hope some of you can save a few dollars this Christmas with this frugal
gift idea. I honestly believe you could print and frame this for around $10. Really you could do it for $3 if you buy a Dollar Store frame and spend $2 to print it. Not a bad price for a cute Christmas gift.

Thanks Beth! I absolutely loved the rug too. I love even more that it is still used every year and it has stood up! My mother-in-law keeps it by her back door year round.Sorry for the delay in getting this new image done. I have made a new one with Memaw for you.Have a great day!Stephanie

I would love to get one of these from my daughter! But I was thinking it would be neat if I sent one to her that said, "The only thing better than having you for a Daughter is my grandchildren having you for a Mom."

I don't expect you to change the whole thing around for that! But it was a thought.....

My mom (Teddy) will be 82 this Monday and her "adult" grandchildren call her GrandTeddy--her request when they were young enough to understand she didn't want to be called anything else..lol! I would love to make one of these for her birthday if you have the time to post it Stephanie~ Thanks so much and I love your site & your creativity that embraces all "budgets"..Happy Holidays.

Stephanie~Thank you so much for doing GT (as the "kids" sometimes lovingly refer to her when I ask if they have remembered to call their grandmother!) She will love this Christmas surprise--Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I too was wondering if I could get one that says "child" instead..I only have one little girl. And we call my mom "Nana" Can you help me out? I hate asking because you have already been so generous and I really appreciate you offering this! I don't have those cool fonts on my computer or such talent!

Thank you soooo much! My mother in law is called Oma, and my mom is called Mamaw! Mother's Day gift to go along with rose bushes. I appreciate your hard work, and your generosity to share with others! Blessings!

I am going to use this for mother's Day, and make my baby's handprints for everyone, Would you be able to make 3 for me? Better then having you for a grandma is my children having you as a great grandma, and better then having you as a best friend is my children having you as an Auntie! I hope you have a chance! Thanks!

I love this idea. I am from the South and we say Mama instead of Mom. Could you make one that says Mama and Mam (instead of grandmother) and one that says Mama and Nana in the place of mom and grandma. Thanks so much!!!

Hey. I am wanting to do this as a mother's day gift. Could you edit it at little? "The only thing better than having you as our mom, is our son having you as his grandma." And how will I know when you add this edit? Thanks so much!!! Great idea!!!

Hi there, I was wondering if there would be anyway that you could do one for me that changes "MOM" to Gram and "Grandma" to Great Gram. I want to do one of these for my grandmother as she is my childrens great grandmother but we call her Gram. Thanks

apparently my kids named my mom and step dad from scooby doo and it stuck they are now 13 and 11 AND A MY PARENTS ARE CALLED MAMOO AND PAPOO HE WAS 2 AND WAS WATCHING SCOOBY DOO AND SAID SCOOBYDOO WHERE ARE YOU MAMOOOO AND SHE SAID O VER HERE AND IT STUCK !!! PLEASE CAN U DO ONE FOR ME AND EMAIL ME WHEN ITS DONE TY !!! LITTLEWEBZ@ YAHOO.COM

Fantastic items from you, man. I have take into account your stuff previous to and you're just extremely magnificent. I really like what you have got here, certainly like what you're stating and the best way through which you assert it. You make it enjoyable and you continue to care for to keep it wise.

I can't wait to read much more from you. This is really a great web site.

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Outstanding work!

these are so cute and creative! great job and thanks for sharing your talents! Could you do a Grandpa one that says: The only thing better than having you for a DAD is OUR children having you for a GRANDPA?

I absolutely love this, and my kids call my mom mamma. I, of course, can't find it anywhere! Would you mind doing "the only thing better than having you for a mom is my kids having you as their mamma"? Thank you soooo much!!!

Hi Stephanie! I so love the saying and love how you designed it! I would love to give this to my mother n law for Christmas (in two days :-? ) i know it is such late notice... is there anyway you can do Grandma Bo? I would be soo appreciative!

I absolutely love these but was wondering if you could make one that says the only thing better than having you as a sister is my boys having you as their aunt?? I have been looking all over for one with that saying! Thank you soooo much!

I would love one a mom one that says "The only thing better than having you as a Mom is my children having you as their "Mamama".Also one that says "The only thing better than having you as Grandparents is my children having you as Great Grandparents"

I posted a few weeks ago but I don't think it went thru :-( i love these and set up a really nice collage for my mom for mothers day with her children and grandchildren :-) i would also like to do one for my father so could you please make one that says the only thing better than having you for a dad is my children having you for their Gramps? Thanks so much!

Love this!!! Thank you so much for doing it!! I looked through all of them but couldn't find one for Glamma that said, "..my Children" instead of "my Son." Funny, I see a former post asking for the opposit. ;) I'll look through them again! Thanks a bunch!!

Can this be altered to read "child" instead of "children"? I was unsuccessful in converting the jpg image back to Publisher to change the verbiage. I want to print one for the Grandparents and one for my son's Pop-Pop but I don't want to give the parents the impression that another baby is on the way because this reads "children". Thanks for saving me the $15+ on Etsy and making this a free download. I sincerely appreciate it!

Just found these and am thrilled to be able to give one to my mom for mother's day. I know this is an old post, so not sure you check the comments any longer, but just in case, would it be possible to make a Dad/ Bah one? Totally understand if not, "Bah" is not a common name for Grandpa. These are beautiful!
